Neuenergy 5000 25c 2s pack - does it exist?

[lincpimp]

Looking to see if antone sells a neuenergy 5000 25c 2s pack. I have a 5000 3s pack, and would like a 2s pack to run in series for 5s. Can't seem to find one on this site, anyone know where I can get one?

They have them in a hard case.

Those are the same cells in the hard case? I guess that would work, how are the wires held in the hard case?

I'll tell you if I ever get mine if they ever get them from China ;). If you don't mind waiting I can get pics when they come.

Ok, I shall wait. I may buy a 4350 flightpower 5s pack, and save the 3s lipo for another vehicle, or buy another 3s lipo and run them in series with the MMM when it comes out.

i would just buy a track power or fp instead of neu due to customer servics (see me other thread).

I have a pair of trakpower lipos. And I think that I will just buy a 5s 4350 flightpower to run in my various single battery tray vehicles.

I mainly wanted the 2s 5000 neu lipo to go with the 3s for a 5s total. Do you guys think that I can run a 2s 5000 25c flightpower battery with it? They are both enerland cells, correct? Should I try it? Maybe not, but I would like to find some use for my neuenergy 3s.

And what type of balance connector does the neu use? I would like to find an adapter to be able to use my lba balancer, or the v balancer? Any info would be appreciated.

I personally wouldnt mix the 2. Its very likely that even if the cells are from the same factory that there could be some sort of difference in the pack construction that would make them discharge slightly different. Thats all it would take to ruin one or the other. when mixing packs its not even a good idea to take an older pack and mix it with a newer pack as you sugested in you first email. As they age they will change capacities and discharge characteristics and a new vs old will not really be the same any more.

Adapter for balancing the Neu with an LBA10:

Skello, thanks for the link, I had seen it before but could not remember where!

Jhautz, I had a feeling that the use of a different mfg pack would be a bad idea. I have run quite a few 2s and 3s packs together and found that as long as the average draw is much lower than the pack rating, the different packs would be ok together. I may buy another 3s pack, or just move this pack on.

So the general concensus is that I will not be able to find a 2s 5000 pack with matching cells to run with this 3s pack for 5s total?

Sorry lincpimp, the neu packs still aren't even in stock so I canceled my order and went ahead and ordered a 4s pack for my jammin from rc-monster direct.
